there is a school built in 1924. there is a curb strip where all the kids walk down and also wait on to cross the busy road. i have been thinking about hitting this place at night since i am a night owl and it is also on an extremely busy road.

i would throw on a yellow and orange safety vest and get out there with my other gear as well.

any tips on going about this?

Just do it it’s legal. I went in the middle of a Historic District which is nothing but lawyers offices ad boutiques.....and concrete. But in the middle of this street was a 9ft piece of old dirt grass curb strip. Embarrassing as it was I went for it dressed with the whole getup knee pads, pouch, shovel, detector in hand and a hat pulled down over my eyes, it was in the middle of the block with no parking spots close so of course I had to walk it.....but I had to see and one day I just said I’m doing it. Got a deep banging signal which of course was a 99% chance it was a big rusty washer the ground getting harder, sweaty as heck and noticing people’s shoes walking by slowly, I decided it wasn’t worth it anymore, but decided to give one more jab and out popped a solid black disc and I mean solid black. Put it in my pouch coved back the hole and got the hell out there. Went home and told my wife, “I think I got something!! I was only 6 months into detecting. After scrubbing with liquid soap and baking soda this was now mine. 1829 Spanish Mexican 8 Reales

After that if I hear something old used to be on the side of the interstate I’ll be there swinging and hundreds of people will see me. Most of my town has seen the crazy guy swinging his detector who wears the MEGA hat )

I hit schools on the weekends when they are vacant and no activities are scheduled. No need for the vest and cones. I hunt during the daylight hours. The cops around here would be curious and have to stop to see what you might be doing in the dark. I find it best to stay off their radar.

I agree with Loco-Digger, on a weekend, daylight, dawn is nice, cooler and less traffic, and curb strips can be very good to you at times.

You can even hunt in the evenings during the summer when school is out for the summer.
